The report included claims that a candidate to become head of spy agency Mossad was not given the job after refusing to guarantee his personal loyalty to Netanyahu, instead saying he was loyal to the country.

It also aired various accusations related to Netanyahu’s wife Sara, including that she approved senior appointments.

Dayan, a well-known and respected journalist in Israel, spent some six minutes reading Netanyahu’s full response after her report aired.

“It will be interesting to see if Ilana Dayan, who presents herself as a paragon of free expression, will broadcast our response without censoring it,” the statement from Netanyahu’s office said.

The statement included a litany of personal and professional attacks against Dayan, accusing her of being part of the “extreme left” and without “an ounce of professional integrity.”

It alleged she was leading a campaign to “bring down the rightwing government.”

There’s no utopian solution for guiding human communities.

Daniel Greenfield explains Post-Hijra Islam 101

"Every devout Muslim is an "Islamist". Islam is not a personal religion. It is a religion of the public space. A "moderate" Muslim would have to reject Islam as a religion of the public space, as theocracy, and that secularism would be a rejection of Islam.

Nothing in Islam exists apart from anything else. While liberals view culture and religion as a buffet that they can pick and choose from, it is a single integrated system. If you accept one part, you must accept the whole. Once you accept any aspect of Islam, you must accept its legal system and once you accept that, you must accept its governance and once you accept that, you lose your rights.''
